In immersive viewing mode, Professor Oak and the others were floating in the universe alongside Arceus.
As ghostlike observers outside the scene, their eyes reflected a blue planet.
Their hearts surged with emotion.
They were shaken beyond words.
This—
was the origin of the world they lived in.
This—
was the planet they depended on for survival.
And that sacred figure bathed in golden light before their eyes—
was the beginning of everything.
The beginning of all things.
The Creator.
The God of Creation.
The origin of all existence.
[Eternal, immeasurable—the beginning of all things.]
Only now did they finally understand what the title of TOP 1 truly meant.
It was not the creation of life.
It was—
the creation of an entire world.
Professor Oak and the other Pokémon scholars stared fixedly at Arceus, their eyes practically glued to it.
To them, this was no different from an ISP seeing a peerless beauty.
A Creator God who could create worlds—
they were deeply grateful to the author for allowing them to witness such an existence with their own eyes.
At the same time—
they also let out a sigh of relief.
The world was safe.
The world would not be destroyed.
Arceus had failed a full hundred times before finally succeeding on the 101st attempt in creating this world.
How could it possibly destroy it?
This planet was its child.
[However…]
[In the distant future, Arceus will still destroy the Pokémon world.]
[To be precise, it will destroy the humans of the Pokémon world…]
The narration echoed out.
Professor Oak and the others' smiles froze on their faces.
A chill shot straight from the base of their spines to the top of their heads.
Their pupils trembled violently.
Destroy… the world?
No—
not the world.
The humans on the world.
Arceus was going to destroy humanity!?
The trainers of the Pokémon world were all dumbfounded.
Especially Professor Oak and the others, who had just moments ago been completely certain that Arceus would never destroy the world.
And in the very next second—
slap, slap, slap—
their faces were figuratively slapped raw.
It was not going to destroy the world.
It was going to destroy humanity!!
Panic.
They truly panicked.
It really would not destroy the world.
But now they were completely terrified.
If the being that created the world wanted to erase humanity, who could possibly stop it?
The world itself had been created by Arceus.
To put it more accurately—
every divine beast in existence could be said to trace back to Arceus.
Divine beasts were born from laws.
And those laws were Arceus's own power.
The seventeen plates revolving around it represented the origins of seventeen laws.
There was no one in the world who could possibly be its opponent.
A freezing cold dread spread through the hearts of the trainers in the Pokémon world.
Why?
Why did Arceus want to destroy only humanity?
"Holy shit, humanity in the Pokémon world is finished. They actually managed to offend Arceus. They're done for."
"There's no one who can stop Arceus. It created the world. In front of it, divine beasts are basically underlings."
"This is bad, this is really bad. I just want to know how exactly it's going to destroy humanity."
"Humans should've gone extinct a long time ago."
"That's right. Humans are the filthiest species, the most disgusting lifeform."
Hearing the narration say that Arceus would destroy humanity, audiences across the anime multiverse broke into heated discussion.
Aside from a handful of righteous people—
most of them were simply watching the drama from the sidelines.
Some even wanted to see exactly how Arceus would wipe humanity out.
After all—
this was not their world.
It was the Pokémon world.
Even if it was destroyed, what did that have to do with them?
Dragon Ball World
Universe 7 — Supreme Kai Planet
The East Supreme Kai was stunned for a moment when he heard that Arceus would destroy humanity.
Arceus had already chosen to let the world evolve on its own.
Humanity was a product of the world's evolution—
a species born under the will of the world itself.
Since Arceus had allowed the world to evolve freely, then unless the world itself was threatened, it should not interfere with the course of the world's development.
It certainly would not destroy a species without reason.
The Supreme Kai himself created planets throughout the universe, yet he did not excessively interfere in their development.
In Universe 7, the infamous Frost Demon Clan had been born.
They ravaged worlds, conquered planets, and destroyed civilizations.
And yet, the Supreme Kai had never bothered to step in.
The law of nature was simple—
survival of the fittest.
For Arceus to destroy humanity…
there could only be two possibilities.
The first—
humanity's existence had begun to threaten the world itself, and for the sake of the world's stability, Arceus had no choice but to erase them.
The second—
humanity had completely enraged Arceus, driving it to destroy them.
Digimon World
Homeostasis, the God of the Digital World, stared at Arceus on the screen, its heart surging with emotion.
So this—
was an existence that could create worlds.
An existence that possessed countless laws.
It even felt envy.
If only Arceus could come to the Digital World—
perhaps the Digital World could also evolve into a truly real world.
But then, when it heard that Arceus would destroy humanity, Homeostasis also paused briefly.
Its judgment was similar to that of the Supreme Kai.
Unless the Digital World was operating beyond its limits, it rarely interfered in its development.
The Chosen Children and the Sacred Crest plan existed to preserve the stability of the Digital World.
For Arceus to destroy humanity—
the only reasonable explanation was that humanity had endangered the stability of the world.
The image in the video began to shift.
A roar echoed out.
Arceus floated high in the sky.
The heavens split apart.
Space filled with countless cracks.
Time itself twisted.
Terrifying energy began gathering around Arceus.
Its body was wrapped in dark and fearsome aura.
It was no longer holy.
Instead, it radiated violence and savagery.
It had clearly fallen into a state of furious wrath.
Its aura was enough to destroy the world.
It ravaged everything.
"Damn humans! Humans deserve to die! Humans have no right to exist in this world!"
Arceus's eyes were crimson, and its icy voice rang through the heavens, as though it could freeze the soul itself.
The moment those words fell—
countless streams of energy poured out from Arceus's body, illuminating the multiverse.
Those energies ran wild, as if the scene had returned to the first moments of the world's birth—
when all the twisted laws had produced chaotic destructive power.
A terrifying aura surged higher and higher from its body.
Countless people felt every hair on their body stand on end.
In the One Piece world, the three Admirals, the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords, Garp, Sengoku, and one powerful figure after another across the seas—
their vision suddenly went black.
They were forcibly ejected from immersive viewing mode.
Each of them gasped for breath.
Their backs were already drenched in cold sweat.
Their chests rose and fell violently.
Their faces were deathly pale.
Terrifying.
Too terrifying.
That aura—
felt like standing before a vast universe.
And that was only through a video.
No one dared imagine how horrifying it would be to face Arceus's aura in person.
And it was not just the One Piece world.
The Naruto world, the Re:Zero world, the Assassin world, the Ling Cage world, the Bleach world, the Inuyasha world, the Magical Girl world, the Slime world—
audiences across countless dimensions were all the same.
Like those in the One Piece world, they were forcibly thrown out of immersive viewing mode.
Every one of them was filled with horror.
So this—
was the power of the Creator God?
An enraged Arceus had reached such a terrifying level?
When Arceus created the world, the golden light around it had not felt oppressive in the slightest.
On the contrary, it had felt warm.
Sacred.
But the furious Arceus—
all they felt from it was terror.
Suffocation.
It felt like the most despairing moment of their entire lives.
One Punch Man World
Saitama's chest rose and fell.
Fine beads of sweat covered his shining bald head.
Too strong.
That aura was too strong.
Before such a being—
he suspected he would not even have the courage to throw a punch.
He took a deep breath and looked at his muscles, which still trembled uncontrollably.
No matter how much he tried to calm them, he could not stop them from shaking.
He looked up at the sky outside.
He even had the illusion—
that his own world was trembling under Arceus's aura.
It was afraid.
So this was TOP 1—
the being that created the world?
Saitama steadied his emotions and his gaze turned resolute.
"Training. I have to train even harder."
"Even if this is the Creator God of the Pokémon world, who knows whether our world has a Creator God too?"
"What if the Creator God of our world also decides to destroy the world someday?"
"I have to train."
"I have to train until I'm strong enough to stop anything."
Across the entire anime multiverse—
nearly 99% of the audience—
could not withstand that pressure.
They were forcibly expelled from immersive viewing mode.
Only the top-tier experts of the Dragon Ball world, the Super God world, and a few other powerful universes could remain calm under Arceus's aura.
Fortunately—
the scene of Arceus's fury did not last long.
Only a few breaths passed before the screen slowly dimmed.
Recalling the image of Arceus's rage just now—
the viewers across the multiverse all understood one thing.
It was the humans of the Pokémon world who had enraged Arceus.
Otherwise, Arceus would never have flown into such a state of wrath.
That only made them even more curious.
What exactly had humanity done—
to make Arceus lower itself to the point of exterminating an entire species?
That was far too outrageous.
Pokémon World
At this moment, even the divine beasts who governed laws were swallowing with difficulty.
Too terrifying.
Arceus in its fury was too terrifying.
Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina, who had been created by Arceus itself, understood Arceus better than anyone.
Arceus's heart was full of gentleness.
A being that existed only for destruction could never have created the world.
And yet—
in the scene—
it had been enraged to such an extent.
Every divine beast felt their scalp go numb.
In the future, Arceus would erupt in fury.
How were they supposed to stop it then?
What had those idiot humans done?
They truly deserved to die.
Not only were the divine beasts confused—
all the trainers and Pokémon research professors wore expressions of utter terror.
The image of Arceus's rage still lingered in their minds.
That voice—
as though it had risen from the depths of the underworld—
overflowing with endless killing intent.
"Damn humans! Humans deserve to die! Humans have no right to exist in this world!"
Their faces were utterly pale.
What the hell had humanity done—
to make Arceus so enraged!?
Every one of them was baffled.
No matter how hard they thought, they could not imagine what humanity had done.
Humans could not even contend with third-tier divine beasts!
Humans themselves possessed no supernatural power at all!
So how in the hell had they managed to provoke Arceus!?
The humans of the Pokémon world were genuinely bewildered.
This was not even an existence on the same dimensional level.
How had humanity possibly offended Arceus?
Arceus's fury was clearly something that would happen in the future.
Damn it.
What in the world were future humans doing!?
Valley of Creation
The place where Hoopa was located.
At this moment, deep within the valley, a brother and sister—the descendants of the Traveler—wore uneasy expressions.
Was Arceus really going to destroy humanity in the future?
"H-Hoopa, what exactly did humans do to make Arceus this furious?" they asked nervously.
"Hoopa doesn't know either. This is the future," Hoopa replied, shaking its head.
"Do you think it might have something to do with the thing our family has always guarded?"
The brother and sister were extremely uneasy as they looked toward the end of the valley ahead.
There stood a stone monument.
It looked completely ordinary.
But as Hoopa and the siblings slowly approached it—
the golden pendants hanging on their chests began to shine.
If one looked carefully—
one would notice that the two pendants, when put together, formed exactly the same shape as the golden ring around Arceus's body—
only shrunk countless times smaller.
The pendants trembled continuously.
Then—
the otherwise unremarkable stone monument suddenly reacted.
It rose from the ground and began floating in the air, slowly rotating.
Divine light spilled from it in all directions.
The entire valley was bathed in holiness.
This was the thing their family had always guarded.
In the past, they had only known that their bloodline was connected to Arceus.
Their clan had always known that Arceus existed.
But the brother and sister had never understood why their mission was to guard this monument.
Now, however—
through the Ten Strongest Divine Beasts video—
they finally understood.
This monument was not an ordinary stone monument.
It was one of the plates—
one of the seventeen source plates of Arceus's power, the same plates that floated around Arceus's body.
Looking at that plate, the siblings felt both confusion and unease.
Why was one of Arceus's power sources in the Valley of Creation?
Wasn't this supposed to belong to Arceus?
Why had Arceus not taken it back?
The siblings were panicking now.
Could it be that Arceus was going to destroy the world because of their family?
Could it be that their ancestors had deliberately hidden Arceus's plate away?
Was that why Arceus had become enraged?
The two of them were terrified.
Back in the video—
the scene shifted.
The brother and sister hurriedly looked up.
They desperately wanted to know the answer.
If it really was because their ancestors had hidden Arceus's plate—
then they had to return it before Arceus fell into rage.
Buzz—
The image changed in a burst of white light.
Professor Oak and the others focused all their attention, not daring to miss even a single frame.
This time, the scene was no longer set in the universe.
It had returned to the blue planet itself.
The image brightened.
The camera swept across the world—
mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, land, sky, ocean…
Pokémon chased and played with one another.
Time passed peacefully.
Everything was normal.
Then the magnetic narration sounded once more.
[Pokémon, they are mysterious creatures that exist upon this planet.]
[In the sky…]
[In the water, on the land…]
[In every corner of the world, their figures can be seen.]
"Pikachu, wait for me!"
A familiar voice rang out from the screen.
Then the scene shifted—
and a familiar figure appeared before everyone.
All the viewers froze.
Holy shit—
Ash!?
And Pikachu!?
You really are everywhere, aren't you!?
What the hell!?
Every single video has your shadow in it!
Damn it!
As expected of you, Ash!
At the same time, the people of the Pokémon world all thought of one possibility.
How could an ordinary human possibly make Arceus angry?
They could not even come into contact with divine beasts.
If—
among all humanity—
there was anyone most likely to come into contact with Arceus—
then there was only one answer.
Ash.
Ash had encountered nearly every divine beast that had appeared in the rankings.
For him, meeting first-tier divine beasts was as ordinary as eating and drinking.
As they stared at Ash in the video—
the same thought rose uncontrollably in everyone's hearts.
Could it be…
that it was Ash who had provoked Arceus into rage!?
